Reunion Blues Vintage Guitars Roadshow Volume 1
Free Voodoo Daddy & Asleep at Wheel Autographed Bags
Remember the Swing craze of the mid 90’s? In an era of grunge rock, it was a rare offering and adoption from a sub-culture of a sub-culture. (Say that two times fast!)
In ‘98, I was working for NAMM (International Music Products Association) and put in charge of hiring the bands for the convention. We were incredibly lucky to be able to book a new jazz swing group by the name of Big Bad Voodoo Daddy, along with the King of Country Swing, Ray Benson and Asleep at the Wheel. Of course, everyone knows about Asleep at the Wheel, and I had heard of these Voodoo Daddy cats but hadn’t seen their live show. I guess I didn’t know what I was in for!
Voodoo Daddy opened the set followed by Asleep at the Wheel and then both groups performed together for an incredible finale! When was the last time you’ve seen that? The crowd was knocked out and there was a sense of music history in the air.
That was 10 years ago. It never happened again and probably never will, simply based on the chances of both bands being available at the same time for the same venue. I will always be grateful for the opportunity to witness what, to me, was an unforgettable night.
To commemorate, we chased these guys down on the road and asked them to autograph a couple of our premium bags; one for sax and the other for acoustic guitar… and now, we’re giving them away! Both bags are made with full grain leather and feature the dual-density foam interior and luggage-grade hardware that has made Reunion Blues famous.
You can sign up here for this Voodoo Daddy random drawing. If you want to go for the Asleep at the Wheel bag, sign up here. If you’re a fan, or just like free stuff, this giveaway is for you. 
Thank you Scotty from Voodoo Daddy and Ray from Asleep at the Wheel for making this happen.
You guys swing.
JM!
